I'm from Toronto and we never should've traded him away. You've gotta be an amazing pitcher to win a Cy Young in the AL East playing against the Yankees and Red Sox all the time. He's gonna destroy NL lineups all season. If he doesn't win another Cy Young I'll be surprised.

It sucks that he spent 12 years with Toronto (who has had only 1 no hitter in there history) and he never pitched one, yet 11 games into his stint with Philly, he pitches not only a no hitter, but a perfect game. Terrific.

The Jays have been no hit a few times and in their 30 plus years have only seen 1 pitcher throw a no hitter for them and he didnt do it at home either.

Halladay, Hamels, and Oswalt in a playoff serious is legit. The Phils are likely to catch the Braves and for sure beat out the Giants for the WC with Utley and Howard to be back int eh nest 2 weeks.. If they don't win this year, I am pretty comfortable with that trio next year.

Halladay is the best pitcher in the game. If you go by only ERA, sure he might look like he's the best year in and year out, but factor in the other stuff and it's no contest. He's a workhorse and ends up throwing 20-30 innings more than anyone else. He goes almost 8 innings every start and gives the Bullpen a rest. He doubles everyone else when it comes to complete games. He never walks anyone and can get K's when he wants to. His K/BB ratio is almost 8 to 1, which is incredible.

The Cy Young race will come down to the wire between Wainwright and Halladay I think and I wouldn't be mad at giving the edge to Wainwright at this point, but I do think Halladay pitching so many more innings than everyone else gets overlooked. I would take someone that puts up a 2.2 ERA that goes 8 innings every game over someone that goes 2.0 ERA over 7 innings each game easily.
